What waves travel through solids liquids and gases?
Seismic waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
What is one way that scientists know the outer core is liquid?
some kinds of seismic waves cannot travel through liquids, such as the outer core.
Which type of seismic wave cannot travel through the core?
S-Waves, or shear waves cannot travel through the liquid outer core because liquids have no shear and therefore shear waves cannot propagate through them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-wave
What type of seismic waves cannot travel through water?
Secondary waves cannot travel through anything that is completely liquid
Which seismic wave does not travel through liquid?
transverse
What waves travel through solids but not liquids?
seismic waves
What waves travel through solids liquids and gases?
Seismic waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
What kind of seismic waves do and do not travel through liquid?
S-waves can not travel through liquids. By Hollie

What type of seismic wave can travel through both liquids and solids?
P-waves
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
What type of seismic waves cannot travel through water?
Secondary waves cannot travel through anything that is completely liquid
Can sound travel through solids and liquids?
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums including solids and liquids. However, it cannot travel through a vacuum.
